The Indians dominated the White Sox the last two nights, and that is expected to continue this afternoon in the series finale. I highlighted their bats in the stacks article, and now to show their pitcher some love. Danny Salazar will look to complete the sweep against a Chicago team that has yet to get a single run across the plate this weekend. Last season Salazar averaged 10.5 K/9 and is up to 13.75 through three starts this year. He has huge K upside against a Chicago lineup that is striking out 23.8 percent of the time, third worst in the American League. Chicago will send a right handed heavy lineup to the dish today, to face Salazar who sported a .330 wOBA against right handers last year, and early on this year it’s sitting at .212. It’s clear and warm in Chicago today, with a light breeze so the conditions are perfect and Salazar could be looking at a big day. I love him in all formats.

Marcus Stroman is 1-2 through three starts to begin this season, but that is due primarily to the lack of run support, he struggled some his last time out against Boston, but his first two starts should have been wins, with 3 runs allowed on 13 hits through 15.1 innings. The Jays have started to finally win a few games, and more importantly, they’re scoring runs, even in losses, putting 16 runs across in their last 4 games. Today they’ll go for the series win in Anaheim, against a righty heavy Angels lineup that once you get past Mike Trout is none too impressive. The Angels are hitting with a .293 combined team wOBA, that only climbs to .297 against right handed arms. They’ve got a 28.3 hard hit percentage, and the wind will be blowing straight out at 9MPH. This pick isn’t without risk so unlike Salazar above, I’ll limit Stroman strictly to tournaments, but he could very well pay off. He finished last season with 7.32 K/9 and only allowed 0.93 HR/9. He limited his free passes to 2.38 BB/9 with a .284 wOBA. Stroman is still a good pitcher, on a bad team, that is looking to turn things around. Today could be a big day for both.
